APPEAL to the PUBLIC &oil' the LETTER. -"k• PRESS PRINTERS of the 11IETROPOLIS.—At a tim e when so many appeals are made to the benevolence of the Public by bodies more numerous and perhaps more important, though certainly not, individually, more distressed,—great reluctance is felt by the Committee acting for the Journeymen Printers of the Metropolis in soliciting for their unemployed and destitute fellow_ workmen any portion of the Public sympathy. It is not the wish, neither would it be the province, of this Committee, to advert to, the causes which have led to the present embarrassments of trade; they will, however, take leave to state, that on nq branch of indus try has the pressure of the times fallen with greater severity than on the Printing Business. Every effort has been ►nude, and is now making, by the Journeymen in employment, both in Town and Country, to lessen the calamity which has befallen their Bre thren, by a Weekly Subscription out of their scanty earnings; but the amount thus collected, proving so very inadequate to meet the pressing and increasing demands, they are constrained, un willingly, to adopt this their only resource, . of laying their Dis tresses before a humane Public, and of supplicating its generous aid ; without which, numbers of their most deserving Brethren must endure, it is feared for months, all the evils which poverty can possibly inflict. . Although this Appeal is addressed to the Public at large, in the hope that some individuals, from motives of humanity, will step forward to their assistance, the Journeymen Printers are conscious of no claim on general sympathy stronger than that of urgent dis tress. They venture, however, to appeal to the patriotic feelings of their Countrymen—to such as consider the Press a powerful engine, not - merely in the diffusion of Knowledge, and advance ment of Science, but also in the preservation of Public Liberty— that they will allow those feelings to operate in favour of the men who minister in its service, and who now unfortunately are com pelled to implore their succor. To the Literary portion of the Public they wish particularly to address themselves, with becoming humility, in this their season of. adversity; most of whom are doubtless aware, that for some time after the introduction of. the Art, the profession of a Printer was u illustrious as it was profitable; but whether from the in reads made by Machinery,---the general diffusion of Education, which renders learning no mark of distinction,--or from whatever other cause,—.certain it is, the operative Printer is oat at all snPe— rior, in point of remuneration, to that of the commonest handicraft workman. They confidently cherish the hope, however, their claims to protectidts will still be recognized by the lovers of Litt— rature, and that the humble instruments of ushering into the win Id the productions of Genius and Learning, will not be suffered to perish without assistance. The Committee cannot omit to notice, in terms of pride and thankfulness, the liberal donation which has been sent to a Sub scription now raising in Bristol and its neighbourhood for the Dis tressed Printers, by a celebrated Female, an ornament to her sex, and to the Literature of the Country—most serviceable will it prove to the objects of her bounty—more valuable as an example for imitation. The Cumin tee, in announcing the Donations and Subscriptions received since the last Advertisement, return their most grateful Thanks for the Aid so liberally bestowed. When it in stated that the Claimants on the Fund increase weekly, and that there in at present no prospect of the least Improve►nent in trade, • they trust the benevolent assistance of the Public will be still further ex tended to them, and that they shall be thereby enabled to alleviate the unfortunate lot of their unemployed fellow -workmen.

At first ,they .were made of wood, awl the earliest form was a simple crook, introduced into a hole to raise a a latch or remove a bolt. The'auciant keys etill in existence are mostly of brome, and are of varioui shapes; the most remarkable are those which have the shaft terminated on one side by the works, on the other by a ring. These have been supposed by some antiquarians to' be the keys presented by husbands on mac riap to wives, and which were resigned upon divorce or separa tion.. Among the Anglo-Saxons, a servant was. )(teepee of the keys.

BOW BELLS. On Tuesday a. Vestry Meeting was held at Bow . Church, to receive the report of the Committee appoint ed to examine into the state of the bell, belonging to the church, and of the masonry of the tower, as connected with them. „ . Mr. StraPspri, the chairman, stated, that the committee th6ughe proper to take the opinions of their Architect, and of Mr. Mesis, a bellrfounder, who was a person of consi derable experience on the subject. The Chairman then read the Report of these gentlemen. It stated, there could be no question that much injury had , been done to. Or tower since the year 1762, when the present peal was set up. This injury they felt no doubt had arisen from three .causes, namely, from the injudicious mode of hanging the bells—from part Uf• the frame on which the bells, swing, being wedged up against the masonry of the tower—and' from a want of sufficient solidity in the eonstruetiou of the tower itself to withstand the force created by the motion of a peal of bells consisting of ten tons of metal. To remedy the want of solidity in the tower, Mr. awilt sug gested the fixing of a chain of iron ties below the main timbers of the bell-frame, which, he said, was de-, cidedly the place were the tower suffered most. - The total expellee of putting the tower in complete and safe repair, and of effecting these alterations, they estimated at 7751. A model had been prepared by these gentlemen, to ex emplify the. new mode of hanging, and was exhibited in the vestry. Mr. HICK said, the subject of these bells, which were great favouritewin the city, had, as might be expected, excited considerable public interest; and he had received several anonymous letters from persons who felt anxious on the subject. These letters he shoidd beg leave to read to the vestry. Mr. Taco, the bookseller, opposed the reading of these letters. _ _ Mr. HIOK, ho*ever, read two of them. Mr. AUGHTIE requested that Mr. Clwilt's previous re-• ports might be read. These expressed an opinion, that in the then state of the tower, the ringing of the bells ought not to be persevered in. The parishioners contended that they ought to be put a stop to, on the ground of the ex penee, He said that, in general, remedies were exceed ingly expensive, but he urged that this would cost nothing. (Smiles of approbation from several of the parishioners. He lived next door to the church, and he assured the ves try tint, when the bells were at work, his house was shaken by the steeple, that there was not a piece of fur niture, nor an article of his trade, which was not set in vibrutory.rnotiOn by it. Mr. M‘Laustiot seconded the motion. • . Another Parishioner, whose house is next door but one to the church, declared, that such was the effect of the ringing, that evert in his house it made his chandeliers swing seven or eight inches. The motion was put, and carried by a large majority, there being but four against it. Mr. AUGHTIE then' proposed a motion, declaratory of the reasons for the resolution the vestry had just adopted, but this was laughed at, and he withdrew it. Mr. TATS drew the attention of the vestry to the con dition of the acroteria, and the urns placed at the four angles of the tower. These, it; was reported, were in a state of decay, one of them dangerously so. A long and warm discusaioo took place. • 'Mr. Two, and several others, wished to stay further reintirs until the parish got more money. Several were for pulling down the acroteria to save further expence. Mr. LEWIS inquired of the architect, whether he consi dered that the acroteria formed part of the original design of Sir Chriitopher Wren ? Mr. GWlLT—Certainly. Mr. LEWIS submitted that they ought not on that ac count to be destroyed. One orator spoke with great vehemence on theuseless ness of the burns. Mr. HICK rose, and exhorted. the vestry not further, to make themselves the laughing-stock of every intelligent person. Let them pull down all the - urns, Or repair the whole ; and not make the church look, with one. of the four pulled down, au grotesque as a pig with one ear. fli declared his conviction that the bells might be rung . with perfect safety, and that they were not justified in stopping them. Mr. Luwis asked Mr. Gwilt what would be the expense of repairing that one of the acroteria and the urn which were in a dangerous condition ? Mr. GIVII.T said, 60/. or 701., at most. Several of the parishioners wished to know whether Mr, Gwilt.would would guarantee the repair of them for that sum ? Mr. GWILT said he would, though it was not his pro , fassion, and he ought not to participate in the profit of Work which he recommended to be chine. • After a long discnssion, the offer of Mr. Gwilt was so cepted. _ . Two of the parishiobera then gave the Committee a " set to" for ordering the urn which was in a dangerous condition to be taken down, and thereby incurring ex pence to the parish. Mr. MEAIS, the artist, who bad, with Mr. Gwilt,,pre 7 pared the model, here rose, and requested that the expense of his share might not weigh upon them, for he would Mike them a present of it. • " Well I that's very handsome of you," exclaimed a parishioner, and the eriont was pocketed. . After much discuoision, in which the Committee urged that what they had ordered was requisite, the Vestry agreed to sanction the measure. The report of the Committee was approved, although its recommendation had been re- jected. The Meeting then adjourned. Such was formerly the zealin favour of these hells, that one citizen left two Houses in Bow-lane (from which the parish receive loot. per annum), for maintaining two of the bells. A lady also bequeathed 2,0001. for embellish ing the church, and furnishing it with bells.

LORD GIFFORD. ri. T: is e. si p n ar g azi: b . e S t o w t e 4 o ; Lard Gifford, just deceased, .and Lord Chancellor King, who died in the reign of . George Were • natives of the sante Exeter; both -the sons of grocers there. ,Each.was put into the way of arriving at legal dignities by chance from a birth and station in life equally humble and obscure- One arose to the Chancellorship, and the other was marked out for that station, had he lived; 'and, finally, in the dates of their birth there was a remarkable coincidence ' Lord King being born in the year 1669, and ,Lord Giff or d in 1779. An unconqUerable love for learning enabled both to emancipate from their father's counters, and mount to the Peerage, and by somewhat the sante kind.of:step. Lord King began the study of the law later in life than the late Master of the Rolls, having served in his father's shop Until nearly eighteen years of age ; and many persons were living in his native city of Exeter, after he arrived at high legal rank, who rememberadhaving the honour of receiving their groceries at the hands Of :young Mr. Peter, though they had no idea that they then saw in him a future Lord Chan cellor of Great Britain. Being passionately, kind of re4dipgilkoo Lord King and Lord Gifford soon acquired that intelligence which induced their friends to think that they were born for something above tradesmen. The first Nobleman owed his studying for the bar to the accident of his 'being distantly related to Locke. That philosopher, on a visit to the family, be coming acquainted with the extent of his reading, and,, struck with the superiority of mind hi displayed, persuaded, his father to send him to Leyden to. study ; and on . hiare, turn,. greatly improved, induced him to enter himself of the Inner Temple, where he conunenced his career of legal !dusty, LOrd Gifford, by as mere an accident, a difference with the solicitor to whom he wits articled, was induced to quit a branch of the profession in which he could never have arisen to be higher than a respectable, or, pedal* wealthy solicitor, and to study also for the Bar. fhe re spective gradations of each afterwards, until they lu-rived at the highest legal honours, and the Peerage, were as follow : Lord King, chosen M.P. at the, age of thirty. In 1708 chosen Recorder of .London, AO the, same year knighted., In 1714 he was appOinted Chief Jtistice of the Common Pleas, and sworn of the PriVy Council, 1725 raised to the Peerage by the tide of Lord King, Baron of Ocham, in Surrey; 'and was:the same year ap pointed Lord High Chancellor. of Great Britain, in the room of the Earl of Macclesfield ; resigned the , seals ,in 1733, and died in July the next year. Lord .Prigos,d, after practising some years at the Bar, was appointed .:soli citor-General in 1817, Attorney-General in 1819, Lord Chief Justice of .the Common Pleas in 1824, anal was the same year appointed MaSter of the Rolls, in which situa tion (with the Chancellorship in view), he died in Sep tember, 1820. METROPOLITAN ALDERNEY DAIRY. A Meeting of the Shareholders of the, above Company was . held yeaterday, to consider of the propriety of dissolv ing the Company. From a report made by the Directors r it appeared that there were 6,000 shares in the Company, upon which • 24,0001. had been received, all which had been expended in purchasing premises, cows, and the good-will of the Alderney Dairy; but so far from their benig.able to make a dividend, they found.that the concern was a losing One. They valued their premises and cows, and the good."will of the concern, at 20,961/. 2s. of which sum . 6,000/. VMS' reckoned as the good-will. The Gentleman who made this valuation, was asked if he really thought that any person could be found who would give any thing like 6,0001. for the good-will of the concern The person who valued it (a Mr. Dent, we understand), replied, after some hesitation, that nothing like that sutra . would be got, for it, he thought. The Chairman and Directors all expressed a perfect rea diness to answer all questions that the Proprietors might • wish to pat to them. A Proprietor observed that it was not very probable .that any penion would be found to give 0,000/. for the good-will of a losing colleen)! . . Mr. o Lossito observed that. th e Company was at present not in. debt, and therefore might go on ; but utter being 15 . months at work, and having now only 5004 at. the banker's, the question was, ,whether it was expedient to proceed further.' The Directors had done all in their power, but their exertions had turned to no account ; they had been overtaken by the badness of the times--u cir cumstance which they could not either foresee or A sort of desultory conversation ensued, qs to whether it would be politic to .close the concern or not. A Proprietor observed, that giving credit for the value put on the ,Company's . property to the full es t extent , an d lOoking at the *inn subacrilied, there was an evident lossof 2,000/., and therefore the longer they went on,, the greater would be their loss ; he therefore moved that the Company should he immediately dissolved,and that. three Proprietors should be added to the Board of Directors to assist in the winding-up of the concerns of the Company. • This tuot:on was carried, and .the three persons named .Who were to assist the Directors;. thanks were voted to theChairuaan,. Deputy Chairman, Directors, &e., and the Subscribers were told that they would have to call at the office of the Solicitor to•aign a deed, so AS to give a good title •to any person who might heroine a purchaier of the property ; and thus ended the Metropolitan.

It appears that *me person or persons had been'its the, set of stealing the turf when he went out, that he caught them in the tact, and that his metal was fractured. The poor man languished, after having peen brought home, until some time on Tuesday night. The murderers, not even satisfied with beating him its fault a manner, robbed hint of a go/A pair of shoo which he had on his feet, and put on him an old pair, which we hope will be a means of Lading to a discovery of the perpetrators of this inhuman murder.
